Didn’t have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they’re neat and they taste good.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

    Most of the swelling is down. I’m very slowly regaining feeling in the areas that were previously numb. It feels like when novocaine wears off, and the pins and needles sensation is most mild except this sensation is extended over several… um… I hope just weeks. No pain in my lips or chin or inside mouth or it’s low-level enough where I can ignore it. There’s mild pain on my scalp primarily along the sutures. They’re still sore to the touch so I’m trying to sleep on my back which is very unnatural to me. Besides the sleep deprivation, I’m pretty much back to pre-surgery energy levels and have honestly been for a week already. I’m fighting the urge to go out and be active when I should still be resting.

    I’ve started messages and silicone strips for the only visible scar and these treatments have already had effect. Minoxidil for the transplanted hair and obviously it hasn’t been long enough usage to have visible hair regrowth but it has slowed down shock loss.

    Now that the swelling is down and my vision is back, I can look in the mirror and appreciate the results. And yeah. The struggle was worth it. I love the changes, looking into a mirror and seeing my face now is euphoria-inducing. I dunno think I’m kinda hot now too… I can’t wait until the hair grows back and the healing process is fully complete. I’ll be unstoppable catgirl-smug
